ATF offering reward in Gap warehouse arson case

FISHKILL - The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms announced a reward for information that helps solve the Gap warehouse arson case.

On Wednesday, the ATF offered a reward of $7,500 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the fire. Gap, Inc. will match the amount, for a total reward of $15,000.

The agency ruled last month that the Aug. 29 fire at the Northeast Distribution Center for Gap, Inc., at 100 Merritt Blvd. in Fishkill, was incendiary - intentionally set - following an investigation by the ATF, state police, the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control and the Dutchess County Fire Investigation Division. The investigation continues.

The fire destroyed about a third of the 1.3 million-square-foot building.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the ATF via phone at 1-888-283-3473, via email at ATFTips@atf.gov or via the website at atf.gov/contact/atf-tips. Tips may also be submitted through the ReportIt app (available through Google Play and the Apple App Store) or by visiting reportit.com.
